I was 13 as well. I remember waiting all day on my 13th birthday knowing I'd be getting them done. I don't remember ever feeling bad before that about not having them done (although I was probably p!ssed off at the time)

I personally don't like to see little kids with earrings. I was a primary school teacher until DD and saw too many little kids getting them caught or having trouble with sport etc. I think babies with earrings looks tacky but like others have said- that's MY opinion and reflects on me not you. Like a lot of things, my views have softened since becoming a mum. Parents have enough to deal with without us tearing each other down so I say- to each their own. You know better than I do what is best for your family!!
